Hoda Kotb has seemingly taken a step back as NBC’s Today prepares to welcome back Savannah Guthrie.
While the search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, continues, Savannah will return to Today‘s Studio 1A on Monday, April 6. Savannah has been absent from the NBC morning show since Nancy was reported missing in early February. Though Kotb stepped away from Today in January 2025, she returned to her former co-anchor role in February as Savannah spent time with her family in Tucson, Arizona.
